EchoStar continues to bring the hammer down on those who steal DISH Network’s satellite services and equipment. The company said, with the help of law enforcement officials, it has concluded another successful conviction of a signal pirate resulting in jail time for the would-be fraudster.

According to the company, Jackie Edward Taylor Jr. was charged and convicted in a North Carolina court of trafficking in unauthorized satellite access devices. Taylor is now serving a 15-month prison sentence with three additional years of probation and has been ordered to pay a large restitution fee.

The conviction was the result of a joint investigation by EchoStar’s Signal Integrity group and the United States Secret Service, the company said.

EchoStar said it will continue to fight those who try to circumvent the security system by illegally intercepting and descrambling the satellite signal being provided to legitimate customers.
